More than an hour passed quickly.

General Kurzbach's expression also became more and more exciting.

West's marching diary is more than a writing diary of a battle.

The content of the account is quite rich, not only describing the battle in detail, but also recording many classic quotations of soldiers and the actions of some commanders.

Of course, there is also his personal understanding of the army's tactical combat.

Very well written.

What amazed him the most was the heroism of his company to accomplish several seemingly impossible missions.

Attacking, defending, breaking through... All of them were done wonderfully.

Several of these tasks he was very impressed.

For example, the defensive highland warfare of the independent assault battalion. It turned out that they had requested air support in a timely and accurate manner. Not only did it crush two artillery battalions of the enemy, but it also made a huge contribution to the defensive position.

The city stormed a lot of hard nails, and of course, as the commander of the military department, could not have known about them. But he slowly discovered a little, and when he encountered a hard idea, he went to Colonel Connie's 2nd Regiment to do it. Often, two companies of other regiments could not be defeated, and they were able to complete their tasks very quickly.

It turned out that West's company was on an assault mission...

With such an excellent company, there is not a single superior to ask for credit for them?

Lore's assault battalion made a great contribution, and he has now been promoted to division commander. Colonel Connie was also among his commendations, and he was ready to reorganize the 27th Infantry Division from the rear and make him commander.

But it makes sense to think about it. As a newly appointed commander, West has neither connections nor backstage, and has no long-term cooperation with his superiors. Even if people want to ask for credit, they will give their own descendants, how can it be his turn?

And he still has contradictions with Connie, and he can't tolerate him anymore. If one day he is allowed to climb up, won't the sun and the moon be reversed? This may be the reason why the West Company is so good, and they still want to send them to death.

This fits well with the image he had in mind of Colonel Connie. Although he is brave in battle and a general, he is narrow-minded and not a person who does great things. If it weren't for the fact that now was the time to hire people, he might really have to be removed.

It seems that the selection of the future division commander of the 27th Reorganized Division will still have to be considered in the long run.

Thinking of this, General Kurzbach shook his head slightly. He is also an old fritter in the army, how can he not understand the truth.

Seeing West's diary, he understood perfectly...

He sighed softly and looked at West and said, "Are all your records here true??" ”

"Report to the general, there is no deception at all. There are only those that are not recorded, and there are absolutely no falsehoods. Westerly said loudly.

"Hmph.." General Kurzbach pursed his lips and snorted softly.

In fact, if he hadn't seen them encircle and suppress an armored company, he would have had a hard time believing it, but now he couldn't help but believe it.

When I thought of West, as a new commander on the battlefield, I had encountered so many tough battles. Twice almost wiped out, it's really hard for him.

If you don't get the credit, you have to send it to death, and if it's you, I'm afraid you will have to quit. And he is honest enough, in fact, he can find a lot of excuses to prevaricate in the past, and he will definitely not pursue it.

In any case, West is a rare talent.

But if you don't deal with him, you can't do it either. There are merits and mistakes...

Thinking of this, General Kurzbach looked at Xia Ming thoughtfully.

This young man actually made a deep impression on him.

One person dared to rush up and burn the tank, and one burn was four. He has been a soldier for so long, and it is the first time he has seen such a brave and good soldier, it is incredible.

Especially after reading West's diary, I was even more impressed by Xia Ming.

Walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder with his diary and said, "Your commander recorded in his diary that you killed at least 180 enemy soldiers. One of the majors, twenty-two officers, is it true? ”

“... Reporting to the general, Captain West's records are all true. I'm only playing higher than that, not less than that. Xia Ming said loudly and confidently.

"Hmm—" The major staff officer next to the general frowned tightly. He didn't look at the diary, and suddenly he didn't believe it when he heard the general report such an exaggerated figure.

I didn't expect this soldier to be even more outrageous, not only did he not deny it, but he was also so ashamed. When General Kurzbach was a fool?

A soldier who has killed 200 enemy soldiers in less than 3 months since he joined the war in July? Isn't that bragging, what is it??

"Hahaha... So I should ask General Paulus for credit for you, believing that this kind of military merit is enough to receive the highest medal of honor. General Kurzbach liked Xia Ming's answer very much, this is the face and spirit of an imperial soldier, and he should not let anyone else.

Xia Ming raised his eyebrows slightly. Of course, he has no opinion on issuing the medal, what he wants is a double sword and an iron cross.

With the medal in hand and the mission accomplished, there was nothing more than this to look forward to.

Otherwise, with his low-key and passive character, how could he say such domineering words? ? This is all his meritorious work, in exchange for his life, why don't you admit it??

Shoot when it's time to shoot, and you can't be polite at this time.

All his comrades, including West, almost couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. That's a good thing, their company is so awesome, it's definitely not blown out.

sacrificed so many brothers, even if they fought for their breath, they also wanted to get back the honor that belonged to everyone. Behind each medal is everyone's name.

"But I can't.." General Kurzbach casually threw the diary on the table.

With his hands behind his back, he raised his head and swept over everyone, and continued, "Do you know why? Gentlemen. ”

"I don't know!" Joseph couldn't help but reply loudly.

General Kurzbach glanced at Joseph and said: "Because you disobeyed military orders, because you made mistakes!" If you make a mistake, you will be punished, and even if you have merit, I can't ask for credit for you with a diary.

If you have the ability, you can call it out for me. When the time comes, I will also ask General Paulus, to the Führer, and to the people of the whole country for you!

Do you dare to accept this challenge? ”

"Dare!!" Everyone was also taken out of temper by the general's words. Anyway, they have fought all kinds of battles, and they are not afraid to carry out tasks again.

"Good! All stand upright! General Kurzbach rarely shouted military orders to his face.

Even the staff officer of the major stood up straight, and took out a small notebook casually, ready to record the general's orders at any time.

"Now I order that the strength of one company be transferred from our Independent Guards Regiment and the remnants of the 27th Division will be incorporated into an independent reinforced company. Captain Xia Ming served as the temporary company commander, and West served as the deputy company commander. The remaining soldiers of the third company under the former Captain West were all promoted to the third level, and West retained his original rank, effective immediately! ”

“.... Be! The major staff officer unconsciously raised his head and glanced at Xia Ming, isn't this kid a private? Suddenly promoted to captain??

Although he is indeed brave and fearless, is this a little too fast?? So the general believes what is recorded in the diary?? Kill 180 enemy soldiers, he doesn't believe it anyway.

But now that the general has spoken, it must be a certainty. If you rise, you will be promoted, with their combat quality of annihilating armored companies, it will not be wrong after all.

Now it is the need for soldiers who can fight, and it is reasonable to be promoted exceptionally.

Just like the general said, put aside the previous things for the time being, and fight again if you have the ability. As a staff officer, he can see it clearly and see if they are so powerful.
